Ever since I started researching pretzel origins and pretzel recipes for my book Brother Giovanni's Little Reward: How the Pretzel Was Born, National Pretzel Day has been a holiday I always celebrate! After testing recipes with my grandsons, I found a great soft pretzel recipe, which is included in my book. You can also see the pretzel recipe here.

To celebrate this year's Pretzel Day, April 26th 2016, here's a link to deals on pretzels including some free pretzels from Auntie Anne's, Ben's Soft Pretzels, Philly Pretzel Factory, Pretzelmaker, and SuperPretzel. For more info on Bro Giovanni, you can click the image below or go here. Enjoy!
